Almost everyone has issues that would be best let go of, be it a relationship, a hurt, a negative emotion or a past event. This is a very general article, as always, take only from it what is fitting for you.
I should add that I am in no way a professional in any capacity (Jack of all trades, master of none :0)) so the following is my own creation, not to be presented as *professional advice*.
Pull up a chair, take your shoes off and enjoy :0)

Great Expectations...
Let Go To God...
Let it go. Turn it over. Acceptance and
surrender. That nagging little nervous tickle
right smack dab in the pit of your stomach. The
oppressive fog that weighs on your every
movement,separating you from your Self and
your sense of your own Destiny. Those nagging
voices in your head that have become so
familiar that you don’t even notice them anymore.
Take a deep breath. Open the door..
"...the hardest part is self honesty... getting ego out of the way and really being prepared to bare your soul to YOURSELF" Michael
Gather your courage, peel back the layers
and take a good look. Go with it. Follow it
through. Cultivate the garden that is your life.
Start small. Dig, dig, dig. Go back to the
beginning. Find the seed, the space in time
before the root took hold. In the end, you will
find it comes down to only two things.
"A fear named is a fear tamed." Denise Linn, Quest
"You do not make yourself love. You allow love to enter you." The Celestine Prophecy
Questions, questions and more questions.
Answer your questions. Question your answers.
"What am I afraid of?"
"I am afraid because.."
Take responsibility for your fear. Roll in it,
embrace it, immerse your whole Self in it.
Imagine the worst it can be, then deal with it in
your mind. Or accept it. Locate the place in
your body where fear lives. Focus on it, make
it large. Go into it, play with it. Face it. You
are no longer a victim of fear. Release it.
Find peace.
"Once we have expectations, we set ourselves up for disappointment"
Nancy O’Hara, Just Listen
Look very closely at your expectations.
Expectations many times lead us to feel the need
to be in control. Most people and most things
are beyond our control, so loosing our
expectations is a good place to start. Don’t be
disappointed. Let go of attachments to outcome.
Let whatever is to be..BE.
Give it up. Enjoy this moment. How can you
control what has yet to be, or what has already
been.
"Some folks swear by mantra’s – and other’s may turn swearing into a mantra for all I know." Keith Beasley
You’ve gone as far as you can. Now what?
You’ve found it, you’ve faced it. You’ve fussed
with it. But it’s still there.
Hmmm.. What can you do?
Two heads are better than one! Share.
Be it writing to yourself, a friend or a complete
stranger. Talk to someone close to you or with a
professional who can help you to pinpoint key
issues. Pray. In these days of the Internet
newsgroups, email and websites - there are
marvelous ways to get in touch with others of a
like mind and your Self in the bargain! Share
what you learn.
Laugh and the world laughs with you!
Loosen up. Rent a funny movie and laugh out
loud. Laugh at yourself. See the world through
a child’s eyes. Give someone a smile.
Let ‘er rip! Express yourself. Cry. Sing.
Dance. ROAR! This comes highly recommended
by my friend Keith, the Leo. Talk to yourself.
And answer back!
Just BE! God is in the details. And so are
You. Take off your watch - or throw it away!
Be still. Be in the moment. Just BE with a
frog, or a dog, or a log!
Do the hussle! Exercise. Shake your booty.
Really work up a sweat, or walk in reflection
with no destination in mind. Just do it!
Get wet! Soak in the tub, or have a long
shower. Float on a waterbed or in a pool.
Stand under a waterfall. Watch the sunset over
a body of water. Water cleanses much further
than just pore deep.
Give thanks! Give thanks for all that you
have.. release your wants. Give thanks to the
Universe..feel it’s love and energy expand
within you. Give thanks for your body.. all the
experiences it has made possible. Be thankful..
and see the world with new eyes.
"But the One isn’t ‘out there’, or ‘up there’. It’s here, now. It’s everywhere. I’m immersed in It, and when I quiet my mind, listen and let go, for brief moments I can feel It and my path becomes clear." Ed Rawady, alt.spirituality.cirle
Give it up to God, The Universe, Great Spirit,
The Creator - whatever form the divine appears
to you. There is no ending or beginning. Pour
love into God, and find love within your Self.
Take a deep breath. Breathe in God. Breathe
out love. Simple. Deep breath in. Long breath
out. Let it flow. Feel the divine in you and all
around you. Let it all go and be filled. With
nothing and everything. Love is like that. Breath
is like that. Universal. Timeless. If you have
no perception of God in your life, use your
breath. Open yourself to it. Feel it. Find
your true power.
"I want to live with a heart that is free". Kathleen A. McGrane
"For myself, I say the truth sets you free". Michael
Be committed. Be honest. Be patient and kind
to yourself. Sift and sort. Get out of the
driver’s seat. Observe from a distance. Find
what feels right for you. There is no right way
or wrong way. There are no rules. Trust your
Self and follow your intuition. Trust that you
are growing, that you are exactly where you need
to be at this moment. As we shed our fears, it
becomes easier to face our truths. As we face
our truths, without distortion, we find the rest
fades and we are finally left with only one
word. One truth.
L OVE
A life with wings. Freedom.
Mighty Fine.

A Vast Array of Human Kindness
Endless exchanges, through email and newsgroups, which gave birth to many concepts and realizations within myself. Many may find pieces of themselves here :0)
The process continues. Many thanks to all.
And Last But Not Least..
The Universal Energy that is within us and all around us.
This book has the potential to change your life, if your willing to
give it a go! I love it.
Haven't read this one yet, but if it's as good as her other one's,
it's a must read for anyone *between relationships*. Also
available on tape.
Haven't got to this one *yet* either, but looks like a very
interesting sharing of Iyanla's life. Also
available on
tape.
Another one of my favourite author's and more. One of the few people
that I am comfortable calling *His Holiness*, he exudes such warmth,
kindness, patience, wisdom and humour.
I could go on :0)) Also available on tape.
